iain Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 I have just been informed that our filemaker pages are unaccessible using netscape 6.2 and were working fine under netscape 6.1. I have noticed in the past few days that the boxes on the RAIC were looping then crashing, as soon as we blocked netscape 6 the problem seemed to disappear. Does anybody have any info about netscape 6.2 and filemaker 5.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted December 5, 2001 Share Posted December 5, 2001 Netscrape continues to be the worst browser. Up to version 3 it was the best tool for browsing. Anyway, on Adobe web forum was posted that the NN engine is still in Beta stage. IMHO block that version and let visitors know about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith M. Davie Posted December 6, 2001 Share Posted December 6, 2001 For those of us who do not know, please explain how one would block NN 6+. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I'll myself redirect users with NN to error page. GoLive (Adobe) is providing Browser Switch Code for this. For general code search the http://www.javascript.com for "Browser switch". That is done with JavaScript in Head section of page. Good idea is also provide explanation for visitors with JavaScript off and redirect all of them to another NON JAVASCRIPT page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted December 7, 2001 Author Share Posted December 7, 2001 Netscape 6.2 works fine with Filemaker Unlimited 5. Any issues with 5.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith M. Davie Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Thanks Anatoli. Have you considered or tried using an if-conditional with the fmp-clienttype tag on the format file? I have not tested this, I am just wondering if anyone has. I'm lazy today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Actually -- yes On lot of my pages there is: code: [FMP-If: ClientType .cn. MSIE]Link to top of the page [/FMP-If] Netscape messes with so many things, like on local testing is adding .com to links so result in NN is http://localhost.com:591 and such rubbish. I used to love NN in version 3. And I was laughing at IE 3. Not any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
